My friend had visit from a HMCTS Enforcement Officer pursuing a debt in the name of her daughter’s ex-boyfriend. The Officer came to the door proclaiming a Warrant of Control with a right to make forcible entry and walked in. This caused A LOT of distress, and I am keen to make sure it can’t happen again.
The householder’s daughter split with her boyfriend in June 2023. The debt was from Camberwell Green Court, which closed in 2020, so must have been at least 5 years old.
Should the householder be opening post that might arrive in the defendant’s name? Otherwise, how would they know that an Enforcement Officer with a Warrant of Control is likely to arrive. If a Notice of Enforcement in the defendant’s name is received, should a response be made to the Enforcement Group, or the Court? What should be said, so that they know the Defendant is not at the address and has never lived there? Is there a form to complete?
